Error Installing Homebrew - Brew Command Not Found

Question

I\'ve spent the bulk of my Friday trying to get the latest version of Ruby installed on my new MacBook Air (w/ Mountain Lion installed).

I have all the latest versio

Answer 1

try this

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/linuxbrew/go/install)"

Answer 2

This was just happening to me, but none of the suggestions above worked. I changed directories ("cd ~/tmp") and suddenly the command

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

worked for me. Prior to changing directories I had been in a directory that is a Git repository. Perhaps that was interfering with the ruby and Git commands in the Brew install script.

Answer 3

You can use this:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" 

to install homebrew.

Answer 4

Check XCode is installed or not.

gcc --version
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew update

Answer 5

nano ~/.profile

add these lines:

export PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
export MANPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/man:$MANPATH"
export INFOPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/info:$INFOPATH"

save the file:

Ctrl + X then Y then Enter

then render the changes:

source ~/.profile

Answer 6

The warning is telling you what is wrong. The problem is that brew is kept in /usr/local/bin

So, you can try /usr/local/bin/brew doctor

To fix it permanently alter your bash profile (.bashrc or .profile in your home directory) and add the following line:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
